SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 692,671, dated February 4, 1902.

Application led June 18,1901. Serial No. 65,019. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern,.-

Be it known that I,WILLIAM T.JoNEs, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resi'- dent of New Westminster, in the lrovince of British Columbia and Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and Improved Float'- Stringer, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. l

This invention relates to a device for stringing net-iioats and the like; and it comprises a standard forming a sort of needle, at the upper end of which is an eye to receive the' end of a cord, so that the floats may be placed one above the other over the needle and cord and then removed with the cord, thus holding all the floats together on the cord.

This specification is a specific description of one form of the invention, while the claims are denitions of the actual scope thereof.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in al1 the views.

Figure l is a sectional View of the invention, showing the iioats in section and parts broken away. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the invention, and Fig. 3 is adetail view of the upper end of one of the standards.

a indicates a suitable base. As here shown, this .base is provided with two needle-like standards b, which arefastened to the basel and project upward in parallelism. The up per end of each standardb has a tapered slit b therein. These standards may be of any length desired,'accordingA to the number of floats to be strung.-

lifted from the standards, at which time they will be held on the cord or string c.

Having thus described my invention, l claim as new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent- A 1. A iioat-stringer, comprising a base and a needle-like standard attached to and having means at its upper end for the engagement of a cord or string therewith.

2. A Iioat-stringer,,havinga base and two Vneedle-like standards extending side by side and provided at their upper ends with means for engaging respectively the ends of a cord, so that the cord may extend down alongside of the stan dards with its middle portion crossing between them at their lower ends.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
